My final magazine after comments

After having a few comments on my final piece i launched on here some people spotted slight spelling mistakes and other errors. I then went through and changed these to make sure the magazine was up to scratch, like proof reading. Heres the final Document.

Audience Feedback

Here are some of the comments i received from people after showing them my final completed magazine and the comments made after I had made the slight adjustments.

Your magazine is depressingly good. I'll try and find some bad things to say about it though.
You used photoshop really well - in particular on the double page spread, where everything is black and white apart from his shirt. This works really well. Your use of colour is consistent throughout - the blue, white and red theme is very strong and i like the fact that you used a lot of different fonts and sizes on the front cover without making it look like an overload of fonts.
Your main interview was great, and selecting quotes and sizing them up not only made them stand out, but also made the page look like a real magazine. There were spelling and grammar mistakes though.
I think my favourite aspect of the magazine was that you broke the contents down into the different genres of music - this is an original idea and worked very well.
One thing i maybe would have done differently is the masthead which i think could be bigger.
Awesome magazine. You deserve a really good grade.

Its a very good magazine. I wouldn't have thought that there would be a intro article before the contents but it is a good way of introducing people to the magazine before they get too into it and makes you want to read more. I like the colours and they relate well to the other pieces in the mag. The text is occasionally a bit hard to read with all the lines through the text but i still quite like it and relates well to the rest of the text and magazine.

Your magazine front cover is very eye catching and looks like a real cover! I like the choice of colours and the running theme of them throughout the magazine pages you've created. The photo's look very legit and good quality. The stories and sub mastheads have been thought about and chosen effectively to co-inside with the magazine's audience.
My favourite part of the magazine was the double spread page and the large image of the model and the font chosen to headline the page. It is very professional and looks like a lot of hard work has been put into the magazine! Well done :)
